Recent Microsoft 365 Services Facing Performance Issues and Degraded Service
Microsoft 365 Services Face Performance Issues Following Global Outage
In the aftermath of a recent global outage, Microsoft 365 services are once again experiencing performance issues, with numerous users reporting degraded service. Microsoft’s 365 Status account acknowledged the problems, stating that they are currently investigating access issues and degraded performance with multiple Microsoft 365 services and features. Users were directed to the admin center for more information under the reference number MO842351.
To address the issues, Microsoft has implemented mitigations and rerouted user requests to alleviate the impact. The company is closely monitoring the service to ensure the problem is resolved and is directing users to their status page for updates. The 365 Status account also mentioned issues with their status page and advised users to refer to the admin center for more details.
Azure Support also confirmed ongoing investigations into problems affecting Azure services. The team is actively working to resolve the issue and has asked users to stay updated on their status page for further information.
While a previous global outage was attributed to a corrupt update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, the cause of the current disruption has not been linked to any specific software. The latest outage was detected following a surge in user reports of problems with Outlook and other applications on DownDetector.
The previous major outage on July 19 had significant impacts on various sectors globally, including travel and market operations. Initial issues were identified in the United States, with failures in Microsoft services like Azure and 365. It was later revealed that an update from CrowdStrike’s Falcon Sensor threat-monitoring software caused crashes in Microsoft’s Windows operating system, leading to a global IT disruption affecting businesses worldwide.
As Microsoft works to resolve the current performance issues, users are advised to stay updated on the status of the services through the company’s official channels.
